Patent number: 8409748Abstract: A battery and an electronic apparatus are disclosed by which it can be discriminated with a simple configuration whether or not the battery is of a thin type. The battery is configured such that a wall portion for discrimination of a battery characteristic which is swollen in a lengthwise direction and connects to a connector section is formed at a location of one of end faces positioned rather near to an end portion in a widthwise direction of a case of the battery.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2005Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Hideki Hagiwara, Michihito Kobayashi, Yoshihiro Konno, Shoichi Shintani, Yoichi Miyajima, Tsugio Sameshima, Tomohiro Tsumura, Kazuhiro Kitagawa, Kiyoshi Miyamori, Toshio Takeshita, Atsushi Takahashi, Naoto Hosoya, Yoshihisa Tsuchida, Seiya Amatatsu, Nobutatsu Takahashi

Patent number: 8098326Abstract: A connector on an electronic device includes a pair of locking plates, a guide groove, and a space. Each locking plate has, on its edge, a first concave portion, a first convex portion, a second concave portion, and a second convex portion. An intermediate surface for determining a position of an accessory device below the guide groove is provided below the second concave portions and the second convex portions. A contact mounting surface provided with plural contacts is provided below the first convex portions. Guide surfaces for determining a position of the accessory device in the width direction of the guide groove are provided below the first concave portions and the first convex portions.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2008Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Kouichiro Takashima, Yoichi Miyajima, Yoshitake Takahashi, Nobutatsu Takahashi, Yuichiro Nogo, Kiyoshi Miyamori, Masayoshi Iida, Nobuhito Ebine

Patent number: 7700224Abstract: An electronic apparatus and a battery by which battery inserting and removing operations can be performed smoothly with certainty are disclosed. When a battery is inserted into a battery accommodating chamber, a locking projection of a spring is contacted once with and resiliently deformed outwardly in a widthwise direction by and then slidably moves on an edge portion of a projecting wall. However, when a connector section and an electronic apparatus side connector section are coupled soon, the locking portion of the spring is engaged with a locking recess. In this state, an inclined face of the locking portion displaced to the electronic apparatus side connector section is lockably engaged with a wall face of the locking recess displaced toward the connector section and biases the battery forwardly toward the electronic apparatus side connector section by resilient force of the resilient portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2005Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Tomohiro Tsumura, Kazuhiro Kitagawa, Kiyoshi Miyamori
